Icarus, Surry Hills
I first read about the newly opened Icarus Store on Reservoir St, Surry Hills on Tuesday night when I was clicking my way through Two Thousand and was very interested to check it out. In need of a new backpack for my big return to being a struggling student, I realised that Icarus stocked some [...]
Bastille Day at the Beach Haus
Last night Le Coq Sportif held a special presentation for their new range at Blanco Restaurant & the Beach Haus in King’s Cross to celebrate the French national holiday, Bastille Day. With free Kronenburg, Arrogant Frog and escargot all night (or at least until it ran out), it turned out to be quite a successful [...]
A Fresh Start
I bought myself a new Canon 5D Mark II today and wanted to experiment with the Video functionality. This is my first attempt at recording anything, ever, and I hope to continue with it and learn some fun things along the way. – Canon 5D Mark II with Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens
Behind the Deja Crew Shoot
Deja Crew is an all-girl dance group from Sydney who recently, together with Psyde Project, brought home the FIRST place trophy from the World of Dance competition in New York City! Congratulations girls! This video has been in the making for a long time now and I had just gotten to the point where I [...]
The Hurts
The Hurts at the Landsdowne a few weeks back. I’ve been totes lazy. I think these were the only clear ones from the night. Things got a little out of control.
Lee and me
I shot the lee and me 2010 Winter campaign and had that many photos I thought it would be fun to turn it in to a ‘stop-motion’-esque video. I’ve always had a thing for photographs and music so I guess this works out well. Special thanks to Morgan for giving me the idea, and to Clare, [...]
Three Daze
“I had a dream last night that a hamburger was eating ME!” Yes, they called us the Van B Boys. But that didn’t last long, nor did the memories of the weekend.
Work Diaries
Some days I work in Pyrmont. Some days I work in Wollongong. I live in Surry Hills. But I used to live in Warilla. I’d love to work closer to where I currently live. Working in Pyrmont isn’t bad, I just don’t know if I could do it full time. Circular Quay’s a much nicer [...]
Phoenix
This will be the last time that I buy 10 tickets to anything in the hope that all my friends would want to come along in a nice happy-go-lucky group. Everyone’s already inside by the time I get to the gate. The security at the front tell me that my barcode has already been scanned. [...]
Holga Lite
Playing around with the flash on a Holga can make for some interesting photos. Any flash would do really, but the Holga just makes it look that much cooler. \
Chinese New Year
It was our last day in New York and spirits were down, so we visited Soho for some last minute shopping. But the fantastic people of China decided that it was an appropriate day to celebrate their new year. Although it was a little late, who were we to judge on their day of celebration. [...]
Valentine’s Day
Ahh, Valentine’s Day. What a horrible, money-scheming, make-every-guy-look-like-a-jerk-if-he-doesn’t-get-her-a-diamond-ring holiday. Thankfully this year we were in New York, so that in itself is BETTER than a diamond ring, right? Unless you lived in New York, of course, then it would just be another day. Or would it? Anyway (I dunno), Clare and I ventured off to [...]
Downtown
WILHELM: Oh no, you’ve got to go downtown, George. It’s all downtown. Just like the song says. GEORGE: The song? WILHELM: There’s your answer. Downtown.
